2016 Fantasy Football PPR Mock Draft: Round 11
- Mock start date: Saturday, July 9th- Mock end date: Monday, July 18th
Scoring: This mock draft is based on a point-per-reception (PPR) scoring format and is for the 2016 season only (i.e., not keeper or dynasty leagues). Passing touchdowns are worth four points while rushing and receiving touchdowns are worth six points. In addition, one point is earned per 25 passing yards, 10 rushing or 10 receiving yards and one point per reception.
In this mock draft, four of our contributors -- Kevin Hanson, Brendan Donahue, Sean Beazley and Dan Yanotchko -- will each draft for three (of 12) teams.
Note: This is a "slow" mock, but picks will be added once they are made with commentary from Kevin Hanson.

Here is Round 11 of our 2016 Fantasy Football PPR Mock Draft:
11.01 - Sean Beazley (Team 1): Kamar Aiken, WR, Baltimore Ravens
Aiken had 75 catches for 944 yards in 2015, but his production should decline with the addition of Mike Wallace and returns of Steve Smith and Breshad Perriman. Even so, it wouldn't surprise me if Aiken ends 2016 as the team's most productive fantasy receiver once again.
11.02 - Brendan Donahue (Team 1): Ladarius Green, TE, Pittsburgh Steelers
The Steelers gave Green a large contract this offseason to take over for retired Heath Mille. Green underwent ankle surgery this offseason and is likely to be back in time for training camp. Assuming that he is healthy before the start of the season, Green should shatter previous career highs and he has fantasy top-10 upside.
11.03 - Kevin Hanson (Team 1): Tevin Coleman, RB, Atlanta Falcons
Injuries slowed Coleman, who missed four games as a rookie. While he lost three fumbles on just 87 carries, he did average 4.5 yards per carry and he has plenty of big-play ability. Assuming he stays healthy and does a better job of protecting the football, Coleman is set to see his opportunities expand.

11.04 - Kevin Hanson (Team 2): Travis Benjamin, WR, San Diego Chargers
In spite of poor quarterback play in Cleveland, Benjamin broke out with a 68/966/5 season. With better weapons on San Diego's roster, Benjamin may be third in line behind Keenan Allen and Antonio Gates, but the improvement in quarterback play should allow Benjamin to come close to his 2015 numbers even if he falls a little short.
11.05 - Dan Yanotchko (Team 1): Chris Hogan, WR, New England Patriots
Dubbed "7-Eleven" several seasons ago by Reggie Bush on Hard Knocks, Hogan had spent the past three seasons with the Bills and posted a 36/450/2 in 2015. After Julian Edelman, it's possible Hogan scores the second-most fantasy points among the team's receivers in 2016 although he's fourth, at best, behind Gronk, Edelman and Dion Lewis on the passing game's totem pole.
11.06 - Dan Yanotchko (Team 2): Bilal Powell, RB, New York Jets
Powell was a PPR machine down the stretch as he finished as a top-25 weekly PPR performer in five of his final six games, which included three top-eight finishes. While Chris Ivory is no longer on the roster, signing Matt Forte, one of the best receiving backs in the NFL, was not a positive for Powell's outlook. That said, he's still a top 40 back in PPR formats.
11.07 - Sean Beazley (Team 2): Dorial Green-Beckham, WR, Tennessee Titans
The Titans have a number of receivers on their roster, but Green-Beckham is the most talented and the second-year wideout certainly has the most upside out of the group. The 6-foot-5 receiver had both of his 100-yard games in December so he will look to build upon his late-season momentum. That said, DGB was working with the second-string receivers during OTAs behind Rishard Matthews and Tajae Sharpe.
11.08 - Sean Beazley (Team 3): Antonio Gates, TE, San Diego Chargers
Gates missed five games, but still finished as a top-12 fantasy tight end in 2015 at 35 years old. In fact, his 57.3 yards per game was a four-year high. If Keenan Allen stays healthy for a full season, he may average fewer yards, but he remains the favorite red-zone target of Philip Rivers and a top-12 option at the position heading into his age-36 season.
11.09 - Brendan Donahue (Team 2): C.J. Prosise, RB, Seattle Seahawks
With the retirement of Marshawn Lynch and injury (broken ankle) to Thomas Rawls, the Seahawks used multiple draft picks on running backs with Prosise being the earliest (Round 3). At a minimum, however, the team plans to use Prosise as their third-down/passing-down back. In fact, Prosise began his Notre Dame career as a wide receiver.
11.10 - Brendan Donahue (Team 3): Josh Gordon, WR, Cleveland Browns
It's unclear whether Gordon will be reinstated, but he's eligible to apply for reinstatement as early as August 1st. Gordon missed all of last season and played only five games in 2014, but he led the league in receiving yards -- 1,646 yards in 14 games -- in 2013. Coincidentally, he was suspended for the first two games of that season. As Brendan's WR6, he's not counting on Gordon, but he obviously has upside if he's reinstated.
11.11 - Kevin Hanson (Team 3): Devontae Booker, RB, Denver Broncos
The Broncos used a fourth-round pick on Booker and the rookie brings plenty of confidence to the team's backfield. "I’m not there to carry pads, I’m there to take someone’s job," Booker said. While he may not "take" C.J. Anderson's job, Booker is the Broncos running back to own (after CJA) and should challenge for early-down snaps.
11.12 - Dan Yanotchko (Team 3): DeAngelo Williams, RB, Pittsburgh Steelers
Earlier in this round, I drafted Travis Benjamin for my team that also owns Le'Veon Bell. That was a mistake. I should have drafted Williams, his handcuff. Filling in for Le'Veon Bell due to suspension and then injury, Williams finished as fantasy's RB4 in 2015. Williams racked up a total of 1,274 yards from scrimmage and 11 touchdowns last year. If Bell plays a full season, Williams obviously won't come anywhere close to his 2015 numbers, but he is a must-own for any Bell owner.
